About the Daytona Beach Police Foundation

 

Program Overview

The Daytona Beach Police Foundation (DBPF) was established in 2007 under the direction of former Police Chief, Mike Chitwood. The DBPF is a 501c3 organization, that raises money through donations and fundraisers throughout the year. The money that is raised is used to fund education and training opportunities and purchase equipment for Daytona Beach Police Officers that is not covered by the Police Department’s annual budget. Funds raised by DBPF do not replace municipal funding but rather supplement it to enhance public safety in the City of Daytona Beach.

Private Resources

The private sector has a real stake in the success of the Daytona Beach Police Department and the safety of our city. The DBPF serves a vital role, connecting private investment dollars with effective public safety solutions. The Foundation is engaged in an effort to leverage private resources to fund high priority law enforcement needs. DBPF’s scholarship fund is a prime example of how the funds are being used.
